The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2002 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting IBA criteria.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2002. The most recent assessment (2007) is shown below.

State (condition of the key species' populations)
Species	Actual vs Reference (units)	% remaining	Result
Eurasian Eagle-owl Bubo bubo	14 / 10 (breeding pairs)	100	favourable
European Honey-buzzard Pernis apivorus	10 / 10 (breeding pairs)	100	favourable
Picus canus	45 / 45 (breeding pairs)	100	favourable
Middle Spotted Woodpecker Leiopicus medius	300 / 113 (breeding pairs)	100	not assessed
Collared Flycatcher Ficedula albicollis	4,900 / 3,250 (breeding pairs)	100	favourable
Ficedula parva	40 / 40 (breeding pairs)	100	favourable
